In Memoriam

His pride and joy was a 1935 IHC Fairway 12, serial number
FOS1403, which he fully restored from a rust heap and turned into a
showpiece. He was a charter member of Kentucky Chapter No. 24
International Harvester Collectors and International Harvester
Collectors Worldwide.

Bill was an enthusiastic member, taking part in shows in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Louisiana. He
will be sorely missed by his 'rusty iron buddies.'

Beryl D. 'Red' Buchanan, 78, of
Centerville, Iowa, passed away April 2, 2002. Born on Oct. 3, 1923

the Philippines. Red married Beverly Carstens on Oct. 9, 1949. He
graduated from the Kansas City School of Watch making, and was the

carpenter, building houses in and around Centerville. For the past
34 years he owned and operated heavy equipment, doing work for the

I met Red at the Le Center, Minn., swap meet in 1981 and then
again in Waukee, Iowa. I convinced Red to meet in Portland, Ind.,
and we spent many happy hours and made many friends who will miss
seeing him on the corner under the old hickory tree. Gas engine
collecting will never be the same.
